After that, the three words "Xiukun Palace" turned into a big question mark in Jiang Lingxi's mind, strongly binding her curiosity.

During this time, she hid from everyone, and went to the vicinity of Xiukun Palace when she had time, and sure enough, two or three times she met Zhang Dou'er carrying a food box, and after a brief exchange with the guards, she got the key and went in. Unfortunately, it was too far away, and she couldn't see the situation inside.

In order to verify her guess, she even went to the Queen Mother to test it. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, in the face of a person like the Empress Dowager, the words cannot be said too revealing/bone, but according to the reaction of the Empress Dowager, the old man, like the little emperor, thinks that Xiukun Palace is indeed empty.

So according to Zhang Douer's background, it is not difficult to speculate that this should be the personal behavior of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

What kind of person will it be that she will hide from everyone and put her under house arrest in Xiukun Palace? What is her purpose?

Finally once, Jiang Lingxi was "accidentally" grabbed by the Empress Dowager Zhou and taught him a hard lesson, and for this reason, he went to Zhang Douer with a wine bottle to complain, and after successfully pouring him down, he went to his house to get a piece of clothes and put them on.

In front of Xiukun Palace, the guards guarding had ambiguous eyes, "Father-in-law Zhang has been very diligent recently?" ”

"Father-in-law Zhang" ignored it, his hat was lowered, he lowered his head and stretched out his hand, and took the key from the guard.

Similar to a kind of homesickness mentality, when Jiang Lingxi opened the lock, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he tried the keyhole three times before finally opening it.

With the sound of clattering chains, the door of the temple was opened. There was no one outside, Jiang Lingxi looked around, and there were black curtains on the windows everywhere, which were tight, and the indoor light was very dark. In this case, even if the lights are lit inside at night, it will not be too obvious from the outside, and it is no wonder that Jiang Lingxi's first reaction was "haunted" when there was a noise that day.

Thinking of the bloody scene that had happened here, maybe after the light was fully turned on, he could still see the blood stains remaining on the floor, Jiang Lingxi couldn't help but shudder. Shaking his head, he reluctantly pressed down the fear and walked in, the furnishings here should not have moved since Queen Zhan committed suicide, even in the blurred vision, he could vaguely peek into the glory of Queen Zhan back then.

The delicate hollow carved wooden door was hidden, Jiang Lingxi carefully pushed it open, and what caught his eye was a slender back, wearing a loose white undershirt, and his long hair was scattered to his waist. In this situation, Jiang Lingxi's little heart twitched again very unproductively.

In good conscience, anyone who opens the door and sees this picture in such a gloomy environment will be more or less delusional, worried that once this back is turned around, it will also be a waist-length back with long hair...... That's embarrassing.

While Jiang Lingxi walked over cautiously, the person opposite slowly turned around, and there was a guqin behind him. According to the "haunted sound" that came out of tune before, it is conceivable that this person's level is at most a kindergarten entry-level, and it is estimated that he was idle here under house arrest, so he practiced from scratch with local materials. Well, that's a good mentality.

"I said that I have always been very good here, you don't have to come here often, if the Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't send anything, you come too often and it will inevitably make people suspicious."

The light was dim, and the woman just saw an outline of "Zhang Dou'er" coming over, and showed a friendly smile.

The voice......

Jiang Lingxi's heart tightened inexplicably, and he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked to the woman, leaned down, almost lying on his face to distinguish her eyebrows.

It was this look at each other, and the two of them couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiang Lingxi felt that his brain circuit was really insufficient, and the person in front of him had seven points similar to his eyebrows and eyes! Coupled with the déjà vu voice contrast that automatically popped up in the memory bank, who else could there be if it wasn't Jiang Linxi's eldest sister Jiang Linxi's mother's compatriot? !

"Big ...... Eldest sister? Jiang Lingxi called out tentatively.

The woman on the opposite side had adjusted from Fang Cai's panic, got up, smiled at Jiang Lingxi, and said unexpectedly: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

I thought that when I entered this palace, all the doubts would be solved, but who knew that behind the locked palace gate, there were actually bigger ones hidden, and some questions about the relationship with her!

"You, weren't you exiled with the deposed prince? How could it be ......" The accident came too suddenly, Jiang Lingxi didn't have time to think about it, and he couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Linzhao raised his eyebrows, and let out a cold snort, "At that time, the Empress Dowager Zhou must not worry about the prince retreating, what is the strangeness of leaving a hostage in the palace?" ”

"So you've never left Beijing?!" Jiang Ling couldn't close his mouth in shock, "But what about those family letters?" Doesn't your family regularly receive letters from you from the northwest to report safety? ”

"Empress Dowager Zhou will send someone to pick it up in advance, send it to the northwest, and then send it back to the house from the northwest." Jiang Linzhao sneered, "In order to hide people's eyes, she really took great pains. ”

Jiang Lingxi was silent and digested for a while, well, it is not completely incomprehensible for Empress Dowager Zhou to do this. After all, Chen Su's throne was not justifiable enough, and the scandal of the seizure of the hostages of the abolished prince party inevitably made people's hearts unstable and caused people to take advantage of the loopholes. Even in order to get rid of Chen Su, she hid almost from everyone.

Oh, from this point of view, the little emperor's confidence in the relationship between mother and son is really not groundless.

"What's going on with Zhang Dou'er?" Jiang Lingxi pulled back the thoughts that he had accidentally run away, and asked Jiang Linzhao, "Is he the Empress Dowager Zhou's person?" Listening to the meaning of what you just said, he will also come here when the Empress Dowager Zhou is not sending? ”

If Zhang Dou'er has been wooed by her, then what is she planning? Is it against the Empress Dowager Zhou or against the little emperor? Or do you want to help the abolished prince regain the country?! Jiang Lingxi found that he really didn't have much talent in this area, and when he thought about it, he felt that his brain hurt.

Jiang Lin took care of her, this younger sister who was once spoiled by her, once the situation changed, when they met again, it was difficult to have a trace of warmth in their eyes.

Maybe out of some kind of telepathy between the sisters, when she knew from Zhang Dou'er that Jiang Linxi had entered the palace and had a close relationship with Chen Su, she had been worried that such a day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Even Jiang Lingxi now vaguely feels that he came here by mistake that day, maybe there was some force in the dark. She herself has no feelings for this sister, but she can't help but feel sad when she looks at the unconcealable sadness behind the other party's cold eyes.

"Sister", Jiang Linzhao reached out to help her collect the broken hair in her ear, and looked at her seriously, "I was thinking the moment I saw you just now, maybe something was destined from the beginning." ”

She put away the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and forced a smile: "Don't tell the family about me being locked up here, and don't come back in the future, just as if today's incident never happened, you are a smart person, so it is good for everyone." ”

Seeing Jiang Lingxi turn around and leave mechanically, she couldn't help but take two steps to keep up, and added: "No matter what the outcome is in the future, I will focus on the love of my sisters and keep the Jiang family!" ”
